Scheduled Publish
The key to an effective content marketing strategy is consistency, and Scheduled Publishing makes it super easy to stick to a regular content plan!
Scheduled Publish functionality allows you to schedule publishing of a Page or Blog Post for a certain date/time in a particular Timezone:
This is a phenomenal feature for Zipify Pages with many use-cases. For example, you can build-out all of your Blog Posts you want added to your Blog for the rest of the quarter/year and then schedule those posts to be published later on at specific dates and times set by you.
Once you set the Timezone and Date/Time that you want the page/blog post to be published to your store, click the "Schedule Publish" button and it will be scheduled for publication!
If you need to update the schedule, just make the needed changes and then click the "Update Schedule" button instead.
It is possible to Unschedule the page at any time. Just click the "Unschedule" button in the Publish/Update popup or by toggling the "Schedule" switcher in the Pages table. Doing this will put the page in "Draft" status.
📝 If you've scheduled publish for a page which is already Published, then the following warning message will show prompting you to confirm the action:
Additional Notes:
Publishing time should be at least "current time + 1 hour" or more.
It isn't possible to set the publishing date later than 3 years from the current time/date.
The "Scheduled Publish" section is disabled for the Blog Homepage.
The "Publish date and time" date-picker can be minimized by clicking Esc, Space and Enter keys on a keyboard.
It's not possible set a "Scheduled" page as the Homepage, to add it in a Split Test or to set it as a "ZP Page" destination for any block, since it is a page in Draft status I.e. hasn't been Published yet.
The store’s timezone is used as a default value for the Timezone setting in the "Scheduled Publish" popup.
Open Graph Properties
Open Graph properties (meta tags) allow you to control what content shows up when a Landing page or Blog post is shared on Facebook and other social networks. Current fields available are: Title, Description, Image and Page URL.
📝There's no ability to edit the OG properties for Product pages within the Zipify Pages app. The product page's meta title, meta description, main image and URL set for it in the "Products" section of Shopify admin will be used.
